The bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976 by adding a new section, 1170c, which mandates the Michigan Department of Education to ensure that by the 2026-2027 school year, the model core academic curriculum content standards for health education include specific educational components. These components are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of human biology related to pregnancy and human development within the uterus.
Specifically, the curriculum must include an overview of human biology and development, a high-definition ultrasound video demonstrating early fetal development, and a high-quality computer-generated animation that illustrates the process of fertilization and the stages of human development until birth. This initiative aims to enhance health education by incorporating detailed visual and informational resources regarding pregnancy and fetal development.
